Adding Sayyiduna when reciting Durood Ebrahim in Salaah

Q: Can a person add Sayyiduna when reciting Durood Ebrahim in Salaah?

A: There are two opinions in regard to this. Some ulama say that it is better to add the word "sayyiduna" before the mubaarak name of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and the name of Hazrat Ebrahim (alayhis salaam), while others say that it is better not to add it. However, the preferred opinion is that it is better to add it when reciting the Durood Ebrahim.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
